The Permanent Rain

So why the sudden change And what's this all about? I know they speak your name But where's the sound right now? I can't stop praying you'll hear me play I know that I'll be with you there someday So where the hell's my hope And why can't I just try? You know I've lost a lot But I won't let this die I know I've got a friend up in the atmosphere And another reason not to fear the sky No, not tonight Can I pull out all the stops And get out of this town? I want to make you proud But I really don't know how I know it's not helping to hear me say I wish it was me in the car that day Though something made me stop and think of what you said You know it meant a lot But I was just a kid One with all these dreams of growing up and playing music on the road I've been screaming all these years and thinking of you both So where's my hope And why can't I just try? You know I've lost a lot But I won't let this die I know I've got this friend up in the atmosphere And another reason not to fear the sky No, not tonight I wrote this note Because I never even told you You know I've got some things to sing about Like we were young and holding true To all these songs that always made us pull through And now I've got some words that I'll write down I'm sending this shit out So where's my hope And why can't I just try? You know I've lost a lot But I won't let this die I know I've got this friend up in the atmosphere And another reason not to fear the sky No, not tonight So where's my hope, And why can't I just try? You know I've lost a lot But I won't let this die I know I've got this friend up in the atmosphere And another reason not to fear the sky No, not tonight So where the hell's my hope And why can't I just try? You know I've lost a lot But I won't let this die I know I've got this friend up in the atmosphere And another reason not to fear the sky No, not tonight No, not tonight
